Whitening trays cost

Whitening tray cost depends on whether trays are custom-made, which gel is supplied, how many arches are treated, and the dental assessment included.

A whitening tray is a thin plastic appliance that holds peroxide gel against the tooth surfaces. Custom trays are made from a dental impression or scan, while a dentist may also discuss prefilled or standard tray systems.

Compare the examination, tray material, gel concentration, refill policy, adjustment visits, and treatment of cavities or gum disease before choosing a package. Whitening does not change the color of fillings, crowns, or veneers.

Ask for a written breakdown of what the quoted fee includes and whether an examination is required before whitening. Pause and seek dental advice for marked sensitivity, gum burns, or uneven color.

Ask whether the trays are custom-fitted, which peroxide is used, how the gel is dispensed, and what existing restorations will look like after natural teeth lighten.
